3 years and now we're here

    #throwback 

✨23rd December 2012:

At the time when we got to know each other, I was a troubled 21 year old chasing her dreams in KL and he was a soul-searching 28 year old back here in Singapore.

We'd met a few months before via Facebook and then on this very date, love happened. 💞

It has undoubtedly been a really tough journey for us but like the saying goes, "What's meant to be will always find a way."

We got married on the 16th of August 2014; so this basically isn't our wedding anniversary but we've chosen to celebrate this day as well, which means there's gonna be twice the celebration every year hehe! 😜

Alhamdulillah, who knew we'd come this far.

3 years down the road and now we're here, waiting for the arrival of our bundle of joy.

I can't wait to see you this Friday, Inshaallah! ❤️❤️❤️

P.S: We've always been planning for me to go and visit him in Brunei on Christmas day, the 25th of December, but he'd surprised me this morning with this instead~ 

We're gonna have a 2nd babymoon in Miri, Sarawak! Hehehe can't wait! xoxo

Babymoon in Bali

Finally, Didi & I managed to make time for our babymoon! Ofcourse we had to go back to where it feels like home & where I found out that I was pregnant in the first place -- Bali. ^.^

I was in my 21st going to 22nd weeks while we were there & we still rode on a motorbike & walked a lot to get around for beach-hopping & shopping. 

We celebrated the birthdays of our close friends, Farid & Pian, as well so yeah...It wasn't really a 'sit back & relax babymoon' as I'd expected haha! :P

Can't describe how happy & thankful I was to be reunited with my husband once again, despite us only being together for 7 days.

Baby D was definitely delighted as well cos he kept on moving & giving stronger kicks to a point that it felt like he was kicking on my bladder! Hehehe and yes, Baby D is a BOY!! ^.^

We didn't wanna reveal his gender too soon so we took our time & then decided to spill the beans while we were there cos there's been too many family & friends who were guessing & asking about it ever since the detailed scan 2 weeks ago.

Funny how we received many mixed opinions about the gender cos some were saying that it's a girl because:

1) My tummy looks pretty big.

2) I had a sudden interest in makeup, in watching makeup tutorials & always putting effort in looking good.

Then there's the other half who guessed that it's a boy because:

1) My tummy looks pretty small to them & that I didn't look like a pregnant lady from behind.

2) I have a certain glow that most mothers who're expecting a baby boy would have.

Well I guess everyone's just as excited as we are :D

This time, Didi really did pamper me a lot.

I'm really grateful for everything he has given & done for me. 

He kept reminding me that he loved me, all the hugs & kisses & holding hands while walking down the beach. 

I truly miss him now that we're apart once again.

Brunei & Singapore -- So near yet so far :'(

I had my first foot reflexology at my favorite 'Shinkei Spa @ Legian street' after what seemed so long cos the last time was when we were here in July/August. 

Initially I thought I was banned from getting a massage for the whole of my pregnancy but apparently it only applies to mothers in their first trimester.

Well I've been having sore feet recently, especially when I woke up from bed & started walking(Urgh!)..So the few days of massage was good eventhough they're starting to feel sore all over again haha!

I also had a few sun-tanning sessions cos I really needed some color as I've been looking kinda pale despite some people telling me that it's not advisable for the baby >.<

But it's all good as long as we do what we wanna do in moderation I guess, right? ;)

And how can I forget that I was invited on stage to jam with the band at 'Vi Ai Pi restobar' when we were celebrating our friends' birthdays!

Two words: BREATHLESS & PANCIT!!

The fact that I had to sing Halo by Beyonce & Hello by Adele...I swear to God I was sweating so much & I had a strong feeling that Baby D wasn't too happy about it cos I'd probably disrupted his sleep & then he started kicking a lot haha sorry my babyboy :P

Well, I honestly can't wait to visit Didi in Brunei somewhere this Christmas so that I can celebrate the New Year with him over there.

 It's so much easier for me to travel around & do whatever I want now that I'm no longer working.

Just hope that all of this is for the best of our little family at the end of the day. Ameen. xoxo
